We are looking forward to meeting YOU.
Christina, Finn, Teresa, and Antje are here to assist you throughout your entire journey with advice, support, and insider tips.
My love for creativity is something I want to share with you in this beautiful spot of the world, my chosen home, the wild Alentejo.
With me it's all about reconnecting you with your creativity. It's something that resides within all of us.
Time and again, I see how beneficial it is to be playfully creative without the pressure of expectations, and I am passionate about creating the safe environment needed for this.
Paintflow, or free painting, is one of my favorite subjects. Its roots lie in Arno Stern's approach known as "accompanied painting." I have developed it further by opening up the "closed lieu," the enclosed space. In my painting room, there are windows, colors can be mixed, and different tools can be used.
In Paintflow, a well-prepared room invites you to feel comfortable and become creative with ease. I provide as much support as necessary to get you into a creative flow and let you stay there. Painting tools such as various brushes, toothbrushes, sponges, spatulas, and a wide range of vibrant colors from gold to neon to glitter encourage experimentation.
I have 15 years of experience in the fields of art therapy and art education and hold a degree in art therapy and social pedagogy.
Together with my Spanish partner and our son, we are grateful to live surrounded by nature near a small Portuguese village.
I am looking forward to your visit and to getting to know you.

"I was born in Germany but grew up in Portugal, so I know the Vicentina Coast area like the back of my hand.
My focus is on nature and culture, as well as my love for this country.
I made my dream come true by becoming a nature and culture guide, and on our hikes, I will show you the incredible biodiversity and traditions of the Alentejo.
The Alentejo and Vicentina Coast are ready to enchant you, and I am looking forward to taking you on this journey."
"My heart has been passionately beating for yoga for the past 14 years.
I also grew up in the São Luís area and am excited to share my insider knowledge with you.
With a wealth of experience, great empathy, and joy, I create a space where everyone can feel supported and held within their abilities, allowing them to playfully and effortlessly rediscover or restore a sense of 'home' in their bodies through movement.
I look forward to accompanying you on a part of your journey!"
"Antje Seeber has been living in Portugal/Alentejo since 2019 with her six horses. She has been an expert in equine-assisted experiential learning for 12 years, a method focused on interactions with horses and personal growth and learning. Horses show us how to reconnect with our authentic selves and access our inner compass. They not only reflect unconscious blockages but also provide valuable feedback on our actions through their behaviour.
Through interaction with horses, people learn to break through entrenched thought patterns. These experiences encourage taking new steps in one's personal development.
In addition, she is trained as a mental coach, equine-assisted trauma educator, and burnout consultant."
Erfahrungsberichte
"The combination of movement, hiking, yoga, various painting excursions, and time in the studio is unique.
These activities are designed to embark on an outer journey to explore Portugal and its landscapes, while simultaneously embarking on an inner journey to reconnect with your own feelings and needs."
"Experiencing Portugal in a beautiful landscape, in a small Portuguese village, with wonderful activities that each engaged and included me in their own unique way.
All the offerings contributed to encountering and sensing oneself on this journey. Nature and the connection to it are very important and particularly soothing aspects of this experience.
I have rarely had such an intense experience in another country.
The freedom to incorporate these experiences and sensory impressions into the painting work resulted in a very profound experience.
In this seminar, all senses are fully engaged; they are all addressed, and the images and experiences still accompany me some time afterward.
The program is lovingly and thoughtfully designed, making you feel immediately accepted as a person, not just as a visitor."
"Christina, you were always there when I needed you, while also giving me plenty of space.
I feel very well-rested. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
